Goodbye Lithium P2! Elon Musk All NEW 4.0 Batteries, Destroy Everything in 2024!

foreign comes because it's pretty hard to design a Lithium-Ion battery that lasts a long time batteries and current Tesla models are estimated to last for around 200 000 miles or more than 20 years before charge capacity begins to drop by more than 20 percent recently the company unveiled a design for a new electric vehicle battery that could last up to a hundred years before needing to be replaced so how does this new battery last so long let's find out in today's episode of Tesla car World welcome back to our Channel friends before we begin please show your support by subscribing if you haven't already and ringing the bell so you won't miss out on any of our interesting videos in the future now let's get started with today's content hopefully I'm a good weapon anyhow what are we gonna do how are we going to try to improve Tesla's projects like what's this research partnership Tesla's advanced battery research group in Canada in partnership with Dalhousie University has released a new paper on a new nickel-based battery that could last a hundred years and that couples the high energy density of nickel batteries with the long life cycle of lithium iron phosphate cells back in 2016 Tesla established its Tesla Advanced Battery research in Canada through a partnership with Jeff Don's battery Lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax Canada Don is considered a Pioneer in lithium-ion battery cells he has been working on Lithium-ion batteries pretty much since the day they were invented he is credited with helping to increase the life cycle of the cells which helped their commercialization his work now focuses mainly on a potential increase in energy density and durability while also decreasing the cost the group has already produced quite a few patents and papers on batteries for Tesla so how does the new price of the battery compared to Tesla's current 4680 the promise of nickel-based battery chemistry is explained in this work the researchers say that they have optimized production costs so that the new battery costs less than half of Tesla's current 4680 cell this new technology requires fewer battery cells AIDS in the resolution of material shortages and lowers the cost of an electric vehicle as we know each 4680 pack costs seventy four hundred dollars to produce which means we get a cost per kilowatt hour of a hundred and four dollars so the estimated price of the new battery will be around fifty dollars per kilowatt hour how much money will you save by using this new battery Tesla battery replacement is much more difficult than replacing the battery of your iPhone or other device especially in the newer models where replacing the battery can involve more than 140 separate steps this is almost always done by a professional especially if the car is still under warranty a model 3 battery might cost more than 13 thousand and five hundred dollars the labor cost is anticipated to be in the range of twenty three hundred dollars therefore the total cost of replacing the battery might be around fifteen thousand eight hundred we know the Tesla battery is under warranty for eight years or fifty thousand miles so you can save a lot of money because the new battery can last a hundred years it could even be reused in newer models and used several times over what is the energy density of this battery in the quest to develop the perfect battery energy density is key the paper describes a nickel and manganese-based Battery chemistry meant to compete with lfp battery cells on longevity while retaining the properties that people like in nickel-based batteries like a higher energy density of about 300 watt hours per kilogram this is significantly higher than current Tesla batteries for comparison the analysis returned 244 Watt hours per kilogram of energy density for an almost new model y 46 680 battery cell compared to 269 Watt hours per kilogram for the ubiquitous Panasonic 2170 cells that Tesla uses in its long range Vehicles here in the US less density means a bigger battery pack is required to go a given distance higher density batteries take up less space in a car and let you drive farther speaking of farther how far is the range of the new battery with some quick math we can put the model wise 4680 batteries capacity at around 66 kilowatt hours and its range rating is at 279 miles you'll be surprised then when I talk about the range of the new battery the researchers say that it will have a range of 500 miles it's equivalent to the range of the Tesla semi with 900 kilowatt hours of battery this is quite the Monumental breakthrough in the battery industry so will this battery actually have a lifespan of 100 years whether the lifetime of the cells will be dramatically improved nmc cells particularly those balanced and charged to 3.8 volts show better coulombic efficiency less capacity fade and higher energy density compared to lfp cells and are projected to yield lifetimes approaching a century at 25 degrees Celsius authors of the study wrote excellent Lifetime and high temperatures is demonstrated with electrolytes that contain lithium bizomide salt well beyond those provided by conventional lithium iron phosphate electrolytes maintaining a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius may be unrealistic in real world conditions but Teslas do have the best battery thermal Management Systems currently available on the market it has long been known that relatively stable temperatures result in a prolonged battery life expectancy with a hundred year capacity a battery pack will be functioning long after the vehicle has degraded in contrast at 0 degrees Celsius the performance of the 4680 batteries will decrease by 10 to 20 percent and at negative 20 degrees Celsius the performances only about 60 percent of the original it's critical to consider how the new battery will impact the environment the new design may be able to function with little or no Cobalt this is critical since Cobalt mining can result in contaminated water air and soil as well as miners suffering from respiratory and other health issues with low or no Cobalt in the battery's composition the new battery design would be capable of giving identical results and performing in the same way while this improves sustainability and reduces questions over the ethical Source sourcing of cobalt it also offers an insight into the direction of battery development that Tesla researchers are now taking Tesla has decided to continue working with Dawn and his team of geniuses until 2026. here's to a future where electric vehicles are less expensive and more efficient we can surely see Tesla exceeding range expectations in the future so what do you think excited to see new battery chemistry that can last 100 years and how how do you think this breakthrough will change Tesla's Vehicles let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below you know I think one of the things that troubles me most is that we don't yet have a truly affordable car and that that is something that we will make in the future uh but in order to do that everybody get the cost of batteries down we've got to make and we've got to be better at manufacturing and and we need to do something about this curve this curve the curve of the cost per kilowatt hour of batteries is not improving fast enough Elon Musk has said that batteries are key to scaling electric vehicle production and moving towards sustainable Transportation new battery cells other than the 4680 will appear and break into Tesla's model y making it superior to the competition so what amazing advantages are in store for the world of EVS foreign as rumors from a year ago anticipated a prior Supply contract had already been signed between Tesla and byd or build your dream on October 21st of last year a source close to byd told a local Chinese media outlet that the manufacturer had received an order from Tesla for 10 gigawatt hours of lfp batteries in early June byd Executive Vice President Leon yubo announced in an interview that Boyd would soon Supply batteries to Tesla on the afternoon of August 10th a number of people familiar with the matter revealed that the blade battery supplied by byd has been delivered to Tesla's gigafactory in Berlin Germany which is also Tesla's first super Factory to use byd batteries Tesla vehicles can roll off the assembly line in as little as one month that is from the end of August to the beginning of September this is a surprising turn of events if it turns out to be true but neither Tesla nor byd are confirming it right now though byd has previously confirmed plans to supply Tesla with battery cells Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has said that ramping up battery production is crucial if electric vehicle adoption rates continue to rise they plan to purchase every available battery cell available Chinese sources said that Tesla had some of the most stringent requirements on the thickness and precision of the batteries they were getting byd really had to work hard and improve its processes with the Next Generation blade battery to meet the Tesla standard then some information revealed that the second Factory using this battery line is giga Texas Tesla's model y along with a semi are expected to be built by the new byd blade battery in early 2023 to hit its Target of 3 million vehicles per plant promising this battery Innovation will bring a lot of positive reception from Tesla fans so is the byd blade battery better than the 4680 cell documents refer to the new model y variant as the type 005 and internally as the y7cr variant the byd battery capacity is rated at 55 kilowatt hours providing a range of 273 miles the byd blade battery single cell design is compact measuring 37.7 inches long three and a half inches wide and half an inch tall the single cells are arranged together in an array and then inserted into a battery pack with this configuration the use of available space is increased by over 50 percent compared to Conventional cylindrical lithium-ion phosphate batteries compared with ternary lithium batteries and traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries they hold notable advantages in their enduring longevity price charging time and high safety the blade battery can be charged and discharged more than 3 000 times if the battery life is 400 kilometers per charge it's equivalent to 1.2 million kilometers in the battery every life cycle in contrast Tesla batteries can last for about three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand miles which means one thousand five hundred battery Cycles to make it simple and clear Tesla batteries can last 20 years depending on the driving sessions when it comes to comparing lithium ion the Next Generation byd batteries have a lifespan of 60 years which means the byd battery life is significantly longer than the 4680. secondly the new variant will probably be a cheaper version with rear wheel drive only and a smaller battery since 2010 the average price of a Lithium-Ion EV battery pack has fallen from twelve hundred dollars per kilowatt hour to just a hundred and thirty two dollars per kilowatt hour in 2021 for comparison byd blade batteries are cheaper and contain no Cobalt or nickel an estimated 55 Euros per kilowatt hour or 64 US dollars per kilowatt hour it seems Tesla is looking to produce a less expensive model Y at a time when inflation is rampant in Europe in terms of fast charging performance Tesla is a high current solution at present the charging current of V3 is already at the level of 600 amps and the maximum power can reach 250 kilowatts byd uses a rated voltage of 570 volts with a maximum of 680 and a peak power of 120 kilowatts blade batteries can be charged from 10 to 80 in about half an hour furthermore thanks to their 800 volt operating voltage they can provide a range of 90 miles or 145 kilometers in just two minutes of charging with the Next Generation byd blade battery Innovation although Tesla's Peak power is high it can only be maintained for a short period of time byd blade batteries love being at 100 charge or at zero percent but lithium ion batteries prefer to stay in the 20 to 80 percent range the most important information is that byd uses lfp chemistry the lfp has a much lower energy density than the NCM NCA chemistry of the current cells used by Tesla and other EV manufacturers a negative Chain Reaction due to high pressure and high temperature causes thermal runaway in a Lithium-Ion cell since NCM or nickel Cobalt manganese cells release oxygen as a byproduct during thermal runaway they tend to catch fire very easily on the other hand the blade battery offers a higher level of safety than conventional Lithium-ion batteries lfp is more stable battery chemistry even at temperatures as high as 500 degrees Celsius following an exhaustive development program the blade battery returned truly impressive class-leading test results where a stringent nail penetration test confirmed the blade battery surface temperature reached a remarkably low 30 to 60 degrees Celsius all while emitting no smoke or fire further tests subjected the blade battery to a 300 degrees Celsius furnace test and a 260 percent over charging test neither of which resulted in a fire or explosive response the results provide evidence that the blade battery dramatically outperforms traditional ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate Technologies this compact design coupled with class leading safety credentials offers a marked Competitive Edge for byd and moreover a step change for the entire EV industry how do you feel about Tesla using byd batteries let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below so this is a massive Improvement so good things are happening on a lot of levels we just need to go faster Elon Musk added I believe that one day in the future we will develop a super fast charging electric vehicle battery opening a new era for the electric vehicle battery industry in the past the Tesla CEO has always been looking for a way to have a battery for Tesla electric cars that can charge very quickly hoping to one day have a charging time that's even faster than fuel up at the gas pump that is about to become a reality as recently scientists have developed a type of battery that can charge in just in one minute so what battery is it and will it replace the 4680 batteries a research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of science and technology or k-a-i-s-t has developed a high energy density Ultra fast rechargeable hybrid lithium-ion battery that can be used in smart electronic devices and EVS also according to the scientists on the research team the new hybrid lithium ion battery cells are claimed to deliver far more power density than current Lithium-ion batteries without the cooling and heating problems that normally would be apparent accordingly it can be rapidly charged with a high power density of 22 600 watts per kilogram which is expected to overcome the limitations of the current energy storage system which will truly be a breakthrough so a battery pack weighing 1000 pounds could achieve a battery charging rate of 22 megawatts that would charge a vehicle 220 times faster than current charge sessions if there's a way to deliver that much power to the vehicle somehow so yes you'd definitely be done with electric vehicle charging in under a minute the research team synthesized a porous carbon Hollow structure with a large surface area by changing the orientation of the polymer resin from linear to Twisted when the Twisted resin was carbonized more micropores were formed and a carbon structure with a surface area 12 times larger than that of the conventional linear resin was created the carbon structure created through this process was used as the capacitor type cathode material in addition the anode was made using a germanium embedded Hollow carbon nanospheric material to reduce degradation and maximize the dispersion of lithium ions the researchers found that the hybrid lithium ion batteries using those special electrodes had an energy density which is higher than that of conventional Lithium-ion batteries and the power density characteristics of a capacitor allowing for recharge within a minute they also claimed that so far there are no temperature problems 25 percent of a Lithium-Ion battery pack in a vehicle is to do with cooling them there is a very high chance that we won't need that cooling or heating at all one advantage that makes this new hybrid lithium ion battery more competitive than conventional Lithium-ion batteries is the cost of production According to some sources the price of each hybrid lithium-ion battery charging in one minute is only around 5.21 cents meanwhile the price of a Tesla 4680 battery is at about 11 so the cost of each hybrid lithium battery is much cheaper than that of the 4680 researchers at the Massachusetts Institutes of Technology said that research and development particularly in chemistry and Materials Science has been the major factor in dropping the price of the hybrid lithium ion battery the group examined data from a wide variety of sources reaching the conclusion that in improvements to the technology through research and development have been responsible for at least 50 percent of the price reductions achieved so far Dr Micah s Ziegler at The Institute for data systems and Society at MIT a member of the researcher team also analyzes that efforts to increase cell charge densities made a 38 contribution to the overall cost reductions of battery while work to reduce the cost of cathode materials made up 18 percent and reductions in non-materials costs constituted 14 not only that the lifespan of the hybrid lithium-ion battery charging in one minute can be up to around 80 years which is similar to 1.2 million miles capable meanwhile the life of 4680 Tesla battery cells is designed to be used for 20 to 30 years thus the lifespan of this Ultra fast charging battery is about 2.7 times as high as the lifespan of the Tesla 4680 battery so when will this Ultra fast charging hybrid lithium ion battery officially be put into mass production currently the scientists over at kaist say that they are only in the early stages of research and development of this battery hence it will still take a few more years to officially bring it to the market on top of that has any manufacturer produced a one minute rechargeable battery yet previously an electric vehicle startup Fisker announced a battery that charges very quickly in just one minute but after that Fisker said that it had given up on solid-state batteries after having announced a breakthrough That was supposed to enable 500 miles of range and one minute charging in its electric cars Fisker believes that the technology is nowhere near ready for commercialization in the meantime other battery manufacturers with Scientists have also moved one step closer to producing super fast batteries accordingly researchers from the University of Queensland and the Australian graphene manufacturing group or GMG have presented a new graphene aluminum ion on battery that is supposed to charge 60 times faster than current Lithium-ion batteries in only 10 seconds and is a more sustainable battery prototype with a lifespan three times the length of current Lithium-ion batteries with an estimated lifetime of 3 000 charge slash discharge Cycles meanwhile a typical lithium-ion battery lasts about 1 000 Cycles additionally store dot the pioneer of extreme fast charging or xfc Battery Technology for electric vehicles has revealed its strategic technology roadmap labeled 100 and X which will deliver batteries capable of charging 100 miles of range on just a two minute charge with mass production Readiness planned within 10 years storedot is also firmly on track for its first milestone for Global Automotive manufacturers which include producing its silicon dominant anode xfc lithium-ion cells at scale by 2024 that will be capable of delivering 100 miles of range in 5 minutes of charge and most recently the Israeli startup has successfully demonstrated its 105 extreme fast charging battery technology publicly charging a full-scale EV battery pouch cell with enough energy in 5 minutes for 100 miles of range the demonstration featured a 300 by 100 millimeter pouched cell produced at Eve Energy's manufacturing plant in China the battery was charged under a 10 minute time limit during which the cell charged to 20 ampere hours or amp hours exceeding the 0 to 80 percent capacity targets set for the demonstration furthermore an extreme fast charging battery Tech developed by the Israeli startup got one step closer to commercial viability with an investments from Volvo cars Tech fund the Swedish car makers Venture Capital arm um you know maybe lithium ion covers a very broad range of Technologies you can have an enormous difference in the power density in the energy density in recent years lift Lithium-ion batteries have taken the World by storm controlling more than 90 percent of the global grid Market from your laptop to electric vehicles you're probably watching this video on a device powered by a Lithium-Ion battery however current lithium ion batteries have great limitations which affect performance and can even take you all night to charge if your electric car runs out of battery instead of finding new Solutions researchers in Texas are making great efforts to enable lithium batteries to charge five times faster so what exactly is this technology and how will it improve range and charging time right now they need so much energy you'd have to charge them too often lithium ion will still be dominant for a long time even if you have other Technologies however lithium ion batteries still have their limitations and these hold back many of the advances we could have made as a human race they're not as robust as some other rechargeable Technologies lithium ion batteries required protection from being overcharged and discharged too far in addition to this they need to have the current maintained within safe limits every time a battery charges lithium ions travel back and forth between a positive electrode and a negative electrode particles in electrodes causing them to crack and degrade over time electrode damage reduces a battery's charging capacity which in turn reduces the range however it'll take a long time for new batteries to hit the market and moreover perhaps we'll never eliminate lithium ion completely so why don't we just improve on something that's already been proven to be reliable a better battery changes everything that's what you need to know about the future of lithium ion batteries to ensure that there are no barriers facing Eevee uptake researchers at the University of Texas at Austin are addressing the two biggest challenges currently facing EVS limited range and slow recharging by creating a new type of lithium-ion battery electrode the study was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences they fabricated a new electrode that has the potential to unleash greater power and faster charging without sacrificing life the electrode the positively and negatively charged part of the battery was made thicker using magnets to create a unique alignment that sidesteps common problems associated with sizing up this vital component scientists say the price of new Lithium-ion batteries will drop by 65 percent due to fewer complicated steps for comparison the average price of a Lithium-Ion EV battery pack is a hundred and one dollars per per kilowatt hour in 2022 thus it would only cost about 35.35 cents per kilowatt hour to own a Lithium-Ion battery pack with new electrodes this is good news for electric vehicle manufacturers and consumers so how did they implement this technology lithium ion battery because the lithium ions move from side to side to create thickness the team used thin two-dimensional materials as the building blocks of the electrode and then used a magnetic field to manipulate the orientation of the materials during the fabrication process the researchers used commercially available magnets to arrange the two-dimensional magnets in a vertical alignment this created a fast lane for ions to travel through the electrode the magnetic field used by the researchers could facilitate twice the range on a single charge for an EV compared with a battery using a current commercial electrode for example the maximum driving range for a model Y is 330 miles on a full charge for the base long range trim and 303 miles for the performance trim with new electrodes the model wise range can be significantly increased up to 660 miles this is indeed an amazing increase in range GUI Hua Yu a professor in ut Austin's Walker Department of mechanical engineering and Texas materials Institute stated two-dimensional materials are commonly believed as a promising candidate for high rate energy storage applications because they only need to be several nanometers thick for Rapid charged transport however for thick electrode design-based Next Generation high energy batteries the restacking of Nano sheets as building blocks can cause significant bottlenecks and charge transport leading to difficulty in achieving both high energy and fast charging thicker electrodes Force the ions to travel longer distances to move through the battery leading to a slower charge time the typical horizontal alignment of the layers of the material that comprise the electrode forces the ions to move back and forth the magnetic field used by the team aims to solve this issue Zheng Yu Zhu a graduate student in use research group who is leading this project said our electrode shows Superior electrochemical performance partially due to the high mechanical strength High electrical conductivity and facilitated lithium-ion transport thanks to the unique architecture we designed the team also compared their electrode with a horizontally arranged electrode for experimental control purposes the vertical thick electrode was recharged to 50 energy level in 30 minutes whereas the horizontal electrode was recharged to 50 percent in two hours and 30 minutes this means five times faster charging time than Tesla's 4680 batteries we all know that with a standard 120 volt Outlet at home it'll take around 15 hours to get your model y fully charged so with the new electrode lithium ion battery you only need three hours to charge if you've got access to a Tesla Supercharger it will just take 3 minutes to charge up a model y so with such a fast charging speed will it affect the battery life Texas researchers said said that increasing the energy density of the cells while maintaining other factors such as safety and lifetime constant at a high level about 25 years they are still continuing to find a way for lithium batteries to have a lifespan of 50 years the researchers also emphasized that they looked at just a single type of battery electrode in this research although they're still experimenting in the laboratory they expect lithium batteries with new electrodes to be available in April of 2023 if successful it could significantly reduce the cost of lithium removing one of the most significant bottlenecks to battery production ramp up how do you feel about this technology do you believe it will be released in the coming years let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below
